A Thai sorter at a delivery firm stole the company safe on Wednesday evening.
He was arrested the next day but more than 100,000 baht was missing.
Now the question remains – what would you get for one night in Pattaya for that money!?
Whatever he did Chaiya “Yo” Jema is remaining tight lipped.
He was pictured in a motorcycle helmet surrounded by Bang Lamung police after his arrest yesterday with the manageress of Carry Express (Thailand) in the picture looking none too happy.
CCTV caught “Yo” – a sorter at the firm – arriving at the company at the Susco gas station on Route 36 at nearly 10pm. He got the green 50 cm x 50 cm safe out of an office then tried to open it by driving a fork lift truck into it.
That failed so he took it away on his motorcycle with side-car.
Manageress Sutthisa Sutthiwaree, 23, said there was 288,000 baht in the safe.
He was soon arrested at his lodgings but he was in possession of only 181,000 baht stuffed in a bag and a pipe.
Yo said in an attempt at mitigation that he disliked the company because they made him work too hard.
No-one can explain where the missing money was or how Yo might have spent the loot overnight.
The police said that Yo had two drug offences in Pattaya in 2010 and 2011.
He has been charged and detained.
